Light a candle, light a candle with me 
thousand candles in the dark will open 
our hearts 
Light a candle, light a candle with me

Light a candle, light a candle with me 
thousand candles in the dark will open our hearts 
Light a candle, light a candle with me 
thousand candles in the dark will open our hearts 

Light all the candles 
Let's light the candles everywhere 
Just look at me and take my hand 
The heat of love will glow again 
Light a candle, light a candle with me 
thousand candles in the dark will open our hearts 
Light a candle, light a candle with me 
thousand candles in the dark will open our hearts
